Good question. I don't know. I'll have to check.R350Zz33 wrote:u dident get any free oil changes??
No such thing as "free" oil changes. If you dropped the oil changes, you could have bargained down another $1,000 or more. I prefer to do my own. It only take 30 minutes or less.R350Zz33 wrote:u dident get any free oil changes??
I strongly suggest Motul to all my customers. We run 5-30 and also run Motul 90PA in the diff. While your at it, consider Redline MT/MT90 mix in your tranny, you will feel a difference.Retired Chief wrote:I just went over 2000 miles in my Z. I plan on changing the oil every 3000 miles. I’ve always used Castrol oil and Fram filters in my other/previously owned cars. Some guys I work with suggested that I go total synthetic. I searched the forums but couldn’t find a straight answer. Regular or synthetic and which brand? Any suggestions?

Use 5w-30 like the owners manual says.
I did some research on here and other places when I first bought my Z and decided to go with Mobil 1 fully synthetic 5-30 and I use the premium Mobil 1 oil filters also. I like it but I'm also not drifting around corners bouncing off the rev limiter. Probably depends on what you plan on doing with it and how your going to drive the car. IMO for normal street use my vote is for Mobil One.Retired Chief wrote:I just went over 2000 miles in my Z. I plan on changing the oil every 3000 miles.

5 30 Castrol Syntech every 10,000. I have 50,000 happy miles on her.Retired Chief wrote:I just went over 2000 miles in my Z. I plan on changing the oil every 3000 miles.

My Benz gets serviced every 13,000, I figure my Z is just not that much different. If I changed the oil every 3K I would be in the shop every 6 weeks.albert_ey wrote:Every 10,000! Wow, I can't let her go past 3,000 even on full synthetic. I know, over kill.
not sure what model benz you have, but i would imagine it has a much higher oil capacity than the Z... probably around 7-8 to the Zs aprox 5 quart capacity... id shoot for around 6-7000 even on full synth with the Zs low capacity, but hey... thats meTennz wrote:My Benz gets serviced every 13,000, I figure my Z is just not that much different.

I have the same habitMr. Z33 wrote:Mobil 1 fully synthetic and their oil filter is what I have used since my first oil change with the car. That was when I got my 03 with 6,500 around a year ago.
The Mercedes 3L v6 uses 6 liters in a change, However Mercedes does have a oil sensor to sense if the oil becomes dirty. Then it is changed earlier. The Nissan's are said to have small oil holes in the block that can clog at the drop of a hat, so I do check the oil every other week to see if it still ok. If it's dirty I change it then if not I'll continue to run it to 10,000._b.jaye_ wrote:
